Maybe you can send me a photo. As I aware, RAID card uses a special SAS/ Serial cable.

What keyboard is that?

Most keyboard are not serviceable part, in Apple terms means replace if any defects, unless it's a mechanism problem.

What you meant by "come out"? As in disconnected from the main body?

If it keep falling out meaning your key must have broken tabs. Pay attention to any part that's broken. You can try ask Service Center if they have spare key for you.

It's a bug that Microsoft created. Have you update your Office for Mac 2011 to the latest patch?
If you google, many have reported this problem. Not related to which year the file created from.

Did you dropped the unit or anything strange happen to your unit? Normally that means hardware fault. Try check system profiler under USB if the camera is detected.

Mac OS till today can't write NTFS by default, so you need to teach it how to do so by adding 3rd party apps. You can try Paragon NTFS or Tuxera NTFS. If you want free and being adventurous: http://ntfsonmac.com/index1.html?utm_expid=54562258-1

Yes, so long it's formatted into Mac OS partition, the moment you mount the drive, your Mac will prompt you if you want to use it as TimeMachine backup drive.

As of what type is good, it's very subjective, some ppl have their own brand preferences. I'm using a few WD Studio (portable and desktop) so far so good.

No, it means the dust/ stain is within the LCD, which is sealed tight. I can only think of replacing the LCD at this stage.

I suggest you study:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427


It should be less, but please understand that TimeMachine by default, backups whole boot volume. That include system folders. So your file size should be larger.


Windows can't read HFS+ by default. You will need app like MacDrive to enable it. When you plug in a Mac formatted drive windows will tell you it's not recognize and ask you to format it.

WD also have USB3 drives, but not the Mac range. I presume they will release USB3 Mac drive soon, since recent 2012 model came with USB3.

It can't connect or connected but unable to go online? If connected but can't go online, please ensure you set the DNS.
If can't connect, what are the error? Timeout? Is the signal strength good enough? Have you try WEP?

If that's the case, I suggest:
- use cable.
- setup a sub network for the Air.
Be sure you confirm the password works on other machines/ Mac.

If you have warranty, send to service center. If not I suggest you try one of the following:
- Replace to stock RAM and try again.
- Boot from other sources and try again.

If the issues does not affect stability, I suggest you just ignore it while pay attention to the temperature.

Try reset PRAM & SMC.
Still cannot then send to service center.

So long you can read & write to both formatting, you will get the same data once copied.

So long your Mac can read write both shouldn't be a problem, if you worried, just test the copied data before deleting the original.

Have you try repair the keychain?

Backups not really, as I always use TimeMachines.
Cloning: CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) will report.
Synchronize: ChronoSync will sort of report if the target file is problematic.

try making a new keychain, but you will have to re-key-in all stored password. Usually this will happen if you:
1) Reset your admin password.
2) Changed your username.
3) Migrated your user folder.

10.8.2 just out, you might want to try that. Did you install any audio driver/ app that might alter the audio setting?

You can't really do much on the indication. You can bring it to service center for a check, or simply ignore it until you see "replace now". Then you will need a new battery.

You can manually download the updater DMG here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/

If you still not happy, you can try one of the following to experiment:
- Install older/current but fresh OS on external source and try play from it.
- Create a new user account from your internal boot-up drive and try from it.

That way you can confirm if it is your hardware or merely software issues.

Call AppleCare, voice your issues to them. You can collect your unit repaired or not and send to UK service center. Believe me, you might get it back way much faster in UK.

Bring your Mac and charger along and visit your nearest Authorized Service Center. (Prefer not to go to the one in Mid Valley). If you have problem walking in, call AppleCare hotline.
